I am an artist, living and working in Northern Ireland. I believe that art is indistinguishable from real magic, that art is the true magic of our world. Hence this blog is dedicated to the magic of art and creativity.

Better Zen!

Yesterday, over 400 shots, I was averaging 34.25% into the gold, with 18.5% going outside of the red band. Today, over 300 shots, I averaged 44% gold, with just 13.67% outside of the red.I was undoubtedly more relaxed today, able to quickly settle the bow into the position to shoot, which I think is an important factor. The poor shots often seem to be the result of poor timing, releasing hurriedly or "snatching" the shot. I believe my frame of mind is the important factor in continuing to improve.

About Me

I was an art teacher for many years, but now I am retired and am pursuing my own artistic interests and my interest in the french language. My own way of working is primarily realistic, but I use it to express my concerns with both the outside world and my inner experiences.
